Add a Senator to Your Social Network: Join the National NSA Call-In

This week members of over twenty civil liberties groups -- including the the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, the ACLU,
href="http://www.checksbalances.org/">Patriots to Restore Checks and
Balances, EPIC and the
href="http://www.libertycoalition.net/">Liberty Coalition -- are calling
Congress to demand action over the NSA's domestic surveillance program.

You can join them by visiting

page. Urge your senators and representative to seek a full, public
investigation, and to refuse to rubber-stamp these illegal projects. It takes just a few minutes to let your representatives know how you feel and add to the growing chorus of complaints about this illegal action.
